*speaking of gentlemen – which of course I am ‘not accusing you of.*

Whew, at least that's clear, for I have never claimed to be one.

The dictionary states that ladies " behave in a polite and dignified
way" Since when were your posts polite and dignified?

Now Yabby, they have never been crude or rude either. You know that. We are natural enemies in a way –you and I, so you would not expect me to be tripping over myself to be too polite either.

I appreciate the fact that you have gone to pains as well to try to follow the HKM plan which is more than others have who should have lets face it.

Had you of waited (as I ran out of space) I was ‘also’ about to say that unlike Col Rouge you have never aimed crude comments at me. Which I truly appreciate. That is despite our differences over the live animal trade.
Also you have never stooped to put the boot in when others opened car parks to complain about our tag either.

As well, just because I am a straight shooter, ride horses muster cattle still occasionally doesn’t mean a person is rough.
A day spent in the bush with some of the old aboriginal men and their woman very often is a real lesson in ladies and gentleman more often than a walk though surfers that’s for sure.

PF Sorry to hear you have broken your leg- how awful especially right now with all the fantastic work you have undertaken.

Perhaps as fellow farmer old Yabbs will ride up on his white horse and help with the farm. Mind you I don’t know what experience his has had with pigs but I guess he could always learn:)

HenryVIII,
Perhaps Elizabeth and Anne needed someone to open their Jam jars too.

PALE “I found the comment directed to me extremely distasteful.”

I am not sure what comment you are refering to.

“Neither Ladies nor Gentleman discuss such things you raised to women or to their mates and certainly not on a public forum in my opinion.”

Obviously, you exist in more rarified atmosphere than I, PALE.

But you are entitled to your opinion and so am I.

“It’s not saying something to a mate or stranger or a women that you wouldn’t like being said to your daughter or mother or wife, if you have one.”

Actually, nothing I have said is beyond what gets exchanged in conversation with my daughters, ex-wife or present partner. As for my mother, most things would fly right over her head, if she were alive to hear them.

I am not a big fan of righteous indignation. So do not expect an apology.

If you cannot deal with exchanges within an open opinion forum, I suggest you sequester yourself in the ladies lounge, away from the “rough banter” (of the public bar of opinion).

I guess you expect to be treated as an equal, well that implies accepting that some "rough fellows" might be less “genteel” than your personal expectations demand.

I suggest you decide for yourself, to participate in the hurly-burly or not.

What is not yours to decide is any attempt to dictate or censor how I construct my posts.

CJ Morgan, every time you post, you regurgitate the same old drivel, never anything new.

I have answered the range of topics which your limited ability can muster to ask already. I do not intend to repeat myself yet again, I know when dealing with a retard it is necessary to repeat things but you do exceed the expected demands of the most limited.

Col Rouge: "So do not expect an apology"

I doubt that you've apologised to anybody for anything in your entire, miserable life.

"I know when dealing with a retard it is necessary to repeat things"

Indeed. I repeat, you really are an offensive bastard, aren't you?

Besides which, if I'm a retard but have a superior command of English to you, what does that make you?

*We are natural enemies in a way -you and I, so you would not expect me to be tripping over myself
to be too polite either.*

Ah, but I thought that ladies were polite and dignified :)

Gertrude I don't see you as an enemy, for I do not bother to
waste energy hating others, its rather pointless.

I just see you as deluded, naive and highly hormonal. If you had
had a couple of kids, perhaps the focus of your life would be
quite different. The realities of life prevail, closing you eyes and
wishing things to be different, is not going to change them.

Regarding the bits about sex, it seems that you represent the
old school of prudishness, whearas people like me grew up with
the hippie generation of the 70s, where people threw out Queen
Victoria, burnt their bras and today treat sex as little different from
eating dinner, ie its perfectly natural and normal. People are free
to talk about it, no different to talking about good food. Today's world
is not the same as yesterday's world. Some people can deal with
it, some can't, each to their own.

Yabby

Being polite and dignified doesn’t mean that the other person can not hold their own opinions.
There you go again as usual misquoting me. I didn’t say I hated you, but you know, I hate what you do and support. I utterly detest the cruel live trade as does the RSPCA.

It isn’t myself who is deluded Yabby, rather your buddies, who seem to think, that the Department of foreign affairs steering Austrade to promote co joint ventures in the ‘reverse’ of Australians interest "wont be a political issue in this age."

That may have worked with the “old boys club the National Club” but with fresher and ‘younger blood now involved you old timers’ are nearing the end of your days ;)

Wow an old hippie ah. You are old hat and no cattle Yabbs, I’ve always said it;)

Neither am I simply wishing things were different but working to bring different arrangements – there is a difference.

Regarding the other, *despite being much younger, than yourself, I am rather fond of the Queen.

Nor did I or would I try to impose my views or tell yourself or Col Rouge or anybody else what you could say.


I have read several of your comments about the world being over populated so just look at me as someone who agrees with you.

Old school of prudishness-Yes I will nod to that but the women’s place is to have kids bit was just to dig to get me going and I am not rising to the bait.

I have children to care for. The most innocent of all. The millions of fellow creatures we share this earth with. There are also so many aboriginal kids that really need support.

Col Rouge

No I wasn’t expecting an apology. I simply shared my feelings with you.

I would like to comment that calling people retards is not something a Gentleman would say.

Although we have already established you cant make a silk purse out of a soars ear= haven`t We.
